All,

Yesterday, the project I am working on changed for the better. I am required
to access Mainframe data and use it to populate a PDF form.

The solution I proposed required screen scraping to pull the needed data
from the mainframe screens and writing it to a delimited text file where it
could then be imported into the form.

The IT department has a product in place that they use to expose backend
data to PC based applications. This eliminates the need to do the screen
scrapes.

Instead, I now need to call a COM object and supply a client ID that will be
used in a query. The COM object will reply with a string containing the
field values that I need to populate the form.

I have the Adobe 6.0 SDK, but don't know quite where to start to find out
how to call this COM object and then to have it "listen" and accept the
string and use it to fill in the PDF fields.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Brent
